--Negligence Ch. 10

"Erik". He repeated. "I cannot believe this" he moaned shaking his head.

When at once the pair heard the echoed hiss of Raoul's ended sentence, "Believe this"!

The young couple immediately tensed at the voice emanating throughout the box.

"I am fool; I knew he would discover us here!" Christine stood racing over to the door, while

Raoul followed in pursuit placing his arm in front of the door to block her from leaving.

"Christine, Calm down. I will not let him nor anyone else take you away from me". he

Whispered softly taking her into his arms and wiped the soft golden tendril from her face.

She looked away from him but relaxed her body to form his, leaning her head into his chest

Breathing in his scent for only a moment before withdrawing. Taking comfort from his

Dominant figure, he was everything she had ever wished or hoped for; Strong, handsome,

intelligent, even wealthy. But most of all she knew he loved her.

Pulling away resigned she looked at him, "Raoul I know more than anyone else how much

you want to keep that promise but--". She stopped as he readied himself to object.

"No, Christine you do not have to worry about an alternative. We will go away together

tonight. Far away—". But it was her turn to interrupt him.

"Stop it Raoul! Just stop! You don't understand- no amount of distance will ever separate

him from me" she ripped away from his hold. "He is here now even as we speak. I must go

to him". Tears welled up in her eyes, though she put on a brave façade and showed no

other sign of weakness. Hurt and angry by her abruptness and lack of faith in his plan, half

thought out though it was.

"Go back? What, to him?" He spat the words with bitter venom, and disgust. He felt his

heart throbbing in his chest. "Christine I Love you, and always will and I will not stand by

and see you leave me along with everything you love to go to that Monster" Grabbing her

wrists and pulling her to him he bowed his head to take her lips into his own tasting them

with passion and desperate desire, taking in the moment letting the heat of his body and

lips convey into hers. Her form was stiff and indifferent allowing his form to feel her own

with curiosity. Finally pulling away she looked at him overwhelmed and confused. Her face

became hot, expressionless.

He had never acted in that manner before and never out of such emotions it was

completely new to her. Though she couldn't decide weather or not she felt violated. Raoul

was Not so very far from her in years and she did know that he had more-- 'experience'

with that type of thing in his life. It didn't bother her but was to be regarded differently

from men than as to women. Pushing him away her voice was steady with authority. "I

must go" she repeated. Exasperation, fury, disappointment along with many more

emotions flooded through him. He turned from her and through a forceful strike into the

door, unnerving it violently.

While it shook from the punch, the knob to the door started to twist slowly but surly.

Christine took a step back and Raoul grabbed the knob to hold it place. "Shall we let this

Angel of music in Christine?" Raoul scoffed menacingly.

"Raoul!" she chided in fear. "He must not see you! He will kill you!".

"It doesn't seem too high of a price to pay for what I am loosing" Looking at her wantonly.

The pressure increased on the knob forcing Raoul to use both of his hands under the

Strain. "Erik—Please!" She begged. As soon as she spoke the pressure was gone instantly.

Raoul let go of the door and stepped away looking at it for a moment and slowly turned to

her.

Some thing was wrong, as horror filled her eyes and she made to speak but could not.

Tremors ensued through her as she shook stepping to the young Man. Cautiously, than

Stepping back for an unknown reason. Her screaming-shriek embodied the room as he felt

An object fall about his neck. Clasping for it, it constricted and wore into his flesh. His

Resistance being useless, he struggled to find the source to fight back to. Thrashing about

Erratically Christine ran to his side trying to free him but was thrust aside unknowingly by

Raoul himself. She fell to the ground and held her cheek. "Erik, please! No, not now Please

let him go. I will go with you—He's dying!" She pleaded frantically! Searching for his figure in

The shadows. "Good!" A sweet low voice replied composed. Raoul tried to gasp for air,

Writhing on the floor until his movements slowed. The rope was released, as he lay

motionless on the floor. Christine made to go to him, when her so called angel caught her

hastily within his arms clasping around her tightly, crushing her into him. "No, my sweet,

No. You are coming with me!" He snarled.--
